Accidents and hospitalizations  are very common in TV serials. We have seen this happen, in case of Janhavi in ‘Honar Suun Mi Hya Gharchi’. And, now we see Aditi from ‘Ka Re Durava’, meeting with an accident on road and being admitted to hospital. So, now there is a lot of curiosity among the viewers of this serial, whether she will also lose her consciousness, on the lines of Janhavi ?  If that happens, let us try to find out, what are the possibilities?

In the first case, she will be taken home by her parents. In that case, she may not even recognize her husband Jai. So, there will be plenty of scope for her Boss Avinash to come closer to Aditi. And, that is what her father would want to happen. Another possibility is that Aditi may declare in front of her Boss that Jai is her husband. But, is that possible in the serial, which wants to extend its screenplay for a longer period ?  Anyway, Let us wait and see, what happens in the coming week.

On the other side, ‘Honar Suun Mi Hya Gharchi’,  which had become terribly boring in the recent past , is slowly picking up, as the viewers would  like to see Janhavi back with Shree, with her mother getting exposed, for her wrong deeds. But, when will Bapuji played by Rahul Mehendale in ‘Majhe Mann Tujhe Jhale’ get exposed ? Well, it’s time for all the bad characters getting exposed. And, the best example was that of Mothi Aai getting exposed, in the serial ‘Runjhi’. But, she is still waiting for an opportunity to strike back.

As pointed out last time, most of the other serials are just passing  time, as the craze for IPL Cricket would reach its peak, for next few days. We are watching this happen in the case of Marathi films, which have also postponed its releases and so is the case with TV serials. The only option left with ongoing serials,  is to drag on with not so important happenings. Instead of finding promotion of films in some of the promotion based show, now we find the promotions of two or three Marathi dramas happening together. So, wait till 25^th May, to watch all twists and turns to take place, in our Marathi serials

After showing the double role of lead actor Harish Dudhade, ‘Majhe MannTujhe Zhale’ serial on Colors channel, is now presenting some violence filled acts. So, actress Swarda Thigale has been sidelined, with the arrival of Rahul Mehendale, playing the prominent role of a fraud Swamiji, who is into illegal business, under the pretext of running an ashram for poor children. While Rahul shows his dominance through his character, we notice the original hero becoming his disciple, having blind faith in him. Isn’t that something strange, as the hero of this serial, is shown as a well educated person?

What is shocking is that in last few episodes, we saw the character of Swamiji cold bloodedly killing two persons, who came to know the truth about him. One doesn’t understand, how such a character, who is a criminal, has been hyped in this serial ? Isn’t that sending a wrong message? Serial makers and the channels have some responsibility , to see that such characters are not glorified. By the way, few months ago Rahul Mehendale who played a committed team leader of Maharashtra Police team, in the serial on the same channel ‘Jai Maharashtra Police..’ is now playing a criminal. Will it benefit him, if the same serial starts again with new cases?

During the month of May, every Sunday Zee talkies channel have started showing Disney cartoon films, which are dubbed into Marathi. Instead of showing these foreign cartoon films, it would have been better, if they had shown Hindi cartoon films based on Indian mythology, by dubbing them in Marathi. At least, that would have offered some knowledge to the little children. Many popular Marathi artistes have played dubbing artistes for the cartoon characters. But, don’t think our little viewers will be able to identify their voices.

There are no interesting happenings noticed in ongoing Marathi serials; except ‘Asmita’, which had taken up the issue of senior citizens. Many popular Marathi TV artistes are seen in every new story in this serial. It seems that other serials are still worried about the ongoing IPl T20 cricket matches, telecast of which coincides with prime time.
